call me a neophile, but I can’t stand music I’ve heard before. well,
OK, in small doses. here, then, is a definitive list of la crème of the crop in my wheaties.

( for the lazies: i even wrapped up the list below all into a single
playlist file for ya… right-click on short_list2.doc, save the document somewhere on your harddrive, rename its extension from “.doc” to “.pls”, then open it with Winamp or iTunes: short_list2.doc )

THE LIST

this is the station I almost never change:

www.kcrw.com — eclectic/everything NPR/PRI-affiliate from Santa Monica
College. it even has Harry Shearer’s LeShow on Sundays at 10am PST,
and I think CarTalk is in there somewhere, as well. most importantly, though, their music stream just cannot be beat. cleans house and takes names, bruvva.

www.pigradio.com — commercial-free dance beats; a lot of modern stuff in the style of Erik Prydz, but also a lot of retro rave stuff from the early and mid-90s… really upbeat, good stuff.

www.indie1031.fm — it’s got REALLY ANNOYING COMMERCIALS, but might be of interest to all the young wannabe “punk” whippersnappers (who missed the real thing the first time around) as well as to all the creaky, old nostalgiacs reliving with the marrow of their rattling bones their punky, gothy, “alternative” young, “best”, Anne-Rice years.
